Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis between the beginning of carnivals in the colonial societies of the Luso-Hispanic America and its subsequent transformation, between the end of the 19 C and 20 C, in expressions which differ radically from each other and that, unquestionably, had the strength to self-convert into fundamental parts of the identity of each region and its social imaginary. This article analyses the diversification of the Carnivals of Sucre, Potosi, Oruro and La Paz.
